    Your problem is not an infinite recursion problem, the problem is that you
    ran out of memory.  I assume the stack depth is 50, as it is by default in
    options.h, but that traceback was only 25 lines long.  I'd look into finding
    a possible memory leak somewhere.  The first line of the PANIC is the clue.
